locally grown foods vs. food from another country
When considering to buy food from a local vendor or from a superstore you should consider that the foods from the other countries don't have the guarantees that food from local vendors has. Food from other countries also has to be transported from far distances and that involves boats and planes that use tonnes of fuel and pushes carbon out and into the atmosphere. even food in our own country that is grown out in the countryside can be bad as they use tonnes of pesticides that could potentially make your food toxic and use put more carbon into the atmosphere. With all this stuff said it is also said that food such as honey that is bought from locally grown farms makes it more healthy for yourself to eat from that honey rather than from honey made in other places.
